But the visual cortices of sighted people didn't show consistent activation.

但有视力者的视觉皮层并未显示出一致的激活。

The information causes a pattern to develop in the part of the brain called the visual cortex.

这些信息会在大脑的视觉皮层形成一种模式。

In other words different parts of your visual cortex are responsible for identifying different aspects of things.

如形状，角度和运动。 换句话说，视觉皮质的不同部分负责鉴定看见物品不同的特征。

The next step is to determine why the visual cortex is horning in on the audio action.

下一步是打算确定一下为什么视觉皮层会处理听觉活动。

That finding suggests the visual cortex isn't just acting like a simple sound processor.

这一发现表明，视觉皮层不仅仅是简单的声音处理器。

Just over a quarter of the connections they sampled in adult mouse visual cortices were silent synapses on filopodia.

他们在成年小鼠的视皮层中采样的突触中，略多于四分之一是树突丝上的沉默突触。

This made the neurons in the visual cortex at the back of my brain fire in a certain way.

这样我大脑后部就会以某种方式射出视觉皮层的神经元。

Here I've got to scroll up here if I'm looking and then I've got the visual cortex engaged.

如果我还得去看些什么东西话我的视觉皮层就会发挥作用。

The goal was to find out if, among blind people, the visual cortex is activated consistently for complex auditory tasks.

目的在于找出盲人的视觉皮层在处理复杂的听觉任务时是否一直处于激活状态。

When the visual cortex processes light into coherent images, it fills in these blind spots with information from the surrounding area.

当视觉中枢处理连续图像的光线时，它会用周边区域的信息来填充盲点。

And area 17, this primary visual cortex, comes from Brodmann's terminology.

第 17 区，即初级视觉皮层，来自布罗德曼的术语。

The neurons of the visual cortex start being taken over for other tasks.

视觉皮层的神经元开始接管其他任务。

OK, so you may have seen this horrific wiring diagram of visual cortex in monkeys.

好了，你可能已经看过猴子视觉皮层的可怕接线图了。

In other words, in blind participants, most areas of the visual cortex were activated at the same time by the movie audio.

换句话说，在盲人参与者中，视觉皮层的大部分区域同时被电影音频激活。

It’s similar for speaking a word that you read, but your primary visual cortex is involved.

说出你读过的单词很相似， 但涉及到你的初级视觉皮层。

If it inches over the visual cortex, for example, it may cause an image or blind spot to spread over the visual field.

例如，如果它侵入了视觉皮层，它就有可能导致图像或盲点在视野内扩散。

Mostly, the hallucinations seemed to affect activity in the subjects’ visual cortex, an area that normally deals with vision.

大多数情况下，幻觉似乎会影响受试者视觉皮层的活动，而视觉皮层通常是处理视觉的区域。

After a dose of LSD, the visual cortex received more blood flow and started communicating more with regions nearby.

服用一剂 LSD 后，视觉皮层获得更多血流， 并开始与附近区域进行更多交流。

Brain scans show that when Kish navigates his environment this way, using his DIY sonar, his visual cortex lights up.

脑部扫描显示，当基什使用他自制的声纳以这种方式导航他的环境时，他的视觉皮层会亮起来。

And now new research finds that the visual cortex is constantly doing double duty—it has a role in processing not just sight, but sound.

而现在一项新的研究发现, 视觉皮层一直不间断地在负责双重功能—它但可以处理视觉图像还能负责声音部分。
